      The Prog Manual states that feeding tofloat() a string that can't be
    converted into a number returns zero.  It actually returns E_INVARG, which
    is more useful because it can be caught with an error checking routine.  The
    documentation should be changed, I think.
      BillC (Bill Carter) @ Diversity University caught this one.
